IN THE OFFICE

I've been wearing the prescribed school uniform in my whole academic life so when I learned that my work doesn't require uniform, I instantly became the happiest person in that moment. The only dress code in my office is to wear collared shirts and never forget your socks at home (there are times tho that I'm a rebel- no socks and folded pants).

 

Hype this on lookbook here.

I prefer casual clothes over corporate wears; I feel uncomfortable whenever I'm wearing anything that's formal (i.e. long-sleeved polos with hard collars). I always try to look as dapper as possible but I always end up looking ragged lol WHY? Anyway here's what I usually wear in the office! Plaid polo won't ever fail you so I suggest stock up on this! It's also flexible as you can wear it on a day/night out with friends or in this case, in the office.

The only challenge in having no prescribed uniform is how to maximize the small number of clothes I have lol

On-the-job

I’m currently on the third week of my on-the-job training. My daily routine goes like this: wake up at 6 in the morning, cook breakfast and prepare myself until seven, office from 8 to 5 o’clock in the afternoon, reach home at 6 to 7 in the evening then prepare dinner. Yes it’s never easy living on your own but I enjoy being independent. I wake up to the sound of my alarm clock; I cook my own food. Depending on no one else but myself.

Adapting to working environment, managing time well, working with different people, among others are just some of my learning by far from my OJT. I like how it introduces me to the real world which I will be facing soon after I graduate.

Anyhow, this is what I usually wear at the office. It’s not a major corporation so semi-formal (that is, collared shirt + pants combo) getup can do. We can be in corporate attire but I guess that’s too much – people might mistake me as the boss, lol. Tucking your shirt in makes the look more formal, the only problem is holding your breath so your tummy won’t say hi to the world :p

Well hello there semestral break (though I can’t say it’s official until I see my grades)! Iswear this was my most petiks sem ever! Residing at a place that’s 2 jeepneys and 6 LRT stations away from your school is not easy. The long travel tires the heck out of me thus I just clean myself, change clothes and go to sleep after I get home (PM class right here). It took me a while to adjust so you can’t really blame me. But I tried to wake up early and do my duties as a student :p

Being an Accounting student is not easy. Though Accounting problems usually *just* includes basic mathematical operations, solving them is not like just eating a piece of cake. It requires imba analytical skills, deep comprehension and critical thinking (well most of the courses do).

The recent CPA board exam showed that 5 Thomasians made it to the top 10, 2 of them being the top 1, both having an average of 94.14%. Total passing rate is 93.09% - 377 out of 405 examinees. I can’t help but to be proud and inspired!! I promise to do my best so that someday, I will also become a Certified Public Accountant! WAIT AND SEE!

Btw, can this look pass as a corporate world attire? :D

Keep it casual

Sunday family day at the mall. Was only wearing polo shirt and jeans combo (my usual wears) but then it started to rain heavily so I had to grab this jacket to keep myself warm! Decided to pair my white tee with distressed jeans and sneakers to keep the look from being too formal.

Today marks the start of our prelim week so I stayed up late last night to finish reviewing for my exam only to find out that classes will be suspended again in UST! Well I think I’m getting old because class suspensions don’t make me happy at all. Reason is that I’m already in 4th year college so I’m making the most out of it! But of course, they made a right decision for suspending the classes because rain keeps on falling and getting harder! Safety of the students before anything else!

To those who are in a safe place: let’s all be thankful and say a little prayer for those who don’t have a shelter and are affected by the heavy downpour. Safety reminders: Make sure that your cell phones are fully charge! If not, charge them while there’s still a power supply - you’ll be needing them in case of emergency (click this for emergency hotlines). Prepare all the basic needs in case of brownout - flashlights and candles. Stay home, stay dry, be safe everyone! Bawal magka-sakit! (Mag-clusivol)
